Lemmy. Not the greatest bass virtuoso in the world but I love his playing in Hawkwind - it couldn't be better for that style of music, it locks in with the drums and propels the music into space.
Oh, and has anybody mentioned Hugh Hopper yet?

Jack Bruce.
The word progressive meant something different in the late 60s. In this time Bruce progressed the role of the Bass guitarist more than anyone.
